Dated 11/83. I turned 12 that month. I have a feeling that 12 year-old-kids today would not be interested in collecting stickers.Some albums:

And the order form:
Only $0.99 a pack! At this point there were 88 different scents. Just a year later, 104 were available, according to Bubbledog's comprehensive guide. I had 74 of the original 88 stickers. A couple years ago I picked up three sheets for a total of 77.Candy mint:
Ketchup:
Soda:
These newer acquisitions are on glossier paper, not the matte finish of the originals. All include the Trend copyright. Curiously, I recall that stickers with the copyright were more desirable than ones without, although I now see that those without the Trend were the earlier printings.
Trend still does make Stinky Stickers, but the characters aren't the same and kids don't bother to collect them anymore.

These are great. I've seen many of them before, but didn't know about their origin.
I don't know about the *ketchup*ec scratch-n-sniff. Yuk!
They were scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of the scents (maybe they even had a bottom-of-the-barrel scented one!). The ketchup one barely smells, actually. I think the glossier paper didn't retain the smell as well as the original matte ones.
